“If I’ve been somewhere in my life, it’s at a party.”

This is his story and there’s the expected triad of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll, plus insights into the backstage life of touring and glamour. But there’s also a lifetime of personal drama, starting with discovering his father hanged at the age of 11. Dregen even survived the 2004 Tsunami!

Based on conversations with family, friends and the journalist, Tore S. Börjesson.
